This is going to require time to think through whether this is a good idea or not. The JDK supports sym links on Windows and adding support for other unusual junctions types has the potential to introduce inconsistencies and weirdness that are outside the scope of the APIs.  I will try to get time in the next few weeks to comment but this is not a change that we should rush into.
